LIGAND ARRAYS HAVING CONTROLLED FEATURE SIZE, AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME

摘要

Methods and compositions for producing a solid support having a ligand immobilized on a surface thereof, e.g. a ligand array, are provided. Aspects of the methods include: providing a solid support having a bounded feature location on a surface thereof, where the bounded feature location includes a region of the surface at least partially bounded by an electromagnetic radiation modified boundary; and producing a ligand in the feature location. Also provided are systems for practicing the subject methods, as well as devices produced by the methods and methods of using such devices.
